Ji Mingjing said with disdain, "It's too noisy."
It's so annoying to have so many people eating together, with everyone saying a few words, especially lately with all the talk about him being single.
Therefore, Ji Mingjing rarely ate at the ancestral hall unless it was an essential gathering.
So that's how it is.
After a moment of surprise, Rongrong quietly lowered her head and ate her food.
Ji Mingjing was getting anxious, thinking to himself, "Why don't you just ask me what you're asking?"
However, it wasn't until after they finished eating that Rongrong said, "You should go to the ancestral hall for dinner tomorrow."
Ji Mingjing suddenly looked at her, her eyes filled with accusation: "I've only eaten two meals, and you're already kicking me out? You think I eat too much? I can eat one less bowl!"
Facing his accusing gaze, Rongrong explained, "Rou Rou will arrive in Xizhou City tomorrow afternoon, and I'll treat the couple to dinner tonight."
Ji Mingjing raised an eyebrow: "Gu Chenye is here too?"
"Of course, they're here in Xizhou City for their honeymoon." And to help her win him over. But Rongrong didn't say this aloud.
Actually, Rongrong felt there was no need to help anymore.
She could clearly sense the change in Ji Mingjing's attitude towards her. Although he would make sarcastic remarks, his eyes did not lie.
Perhaps it's more accurate to say that I couldn't fool her.
Thinking of this, Rongrong's lips curled up slightly into a faint smile.
She got up, cleared the dishes, and went into the kitchen.
Watching her retreating figure, Ji Mingjing muttered, "There's nothing fun to do in Xizhou City, what's the point of coming here?"
After washing the dishes, it was still early, so Rongrong invited him, "Want to go for a walk?"
Ji Mingjing reminded her, "It's cold outside, wear more clothes."
As Rongrong picked up her coat and put it on, she said, "I wanted to give you a chance to prove yourself."
Ji Mingjing saw the scarf on the coat rack, took it down first, and wrapped it around her neck twice.
Rongrong was completely stunned.
I didn't expect him to suddenly get the hang of it.
She said, "It's a little tight."
Ji Mingjing's hand stiffened for a moment, then she adjusted her scarf: "And now?"
Rongrong's words had a double meaning: "It's quite heartwarming."
Ji Mingjing's eyelids twitched. Had she noticed something?
With a stern face and his hands in his pockets, he said in a serious tone, "Someone is coming to see you tomorrow. We can't let them see a sick person, or they'll think the Ji family has been abusing you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Mingjing walked out of the pavilion.
Rongrong followed behind, pouting, stubbornly refusing to admit it.
But in an instant, a faint smile appeared on her lips.
"Is the head of the family free tomorrow night?"
Where are you having dinner together tomorrow night?
Ji Mingjing and Rongrong walked one after the other, speaking at the same time.
Rongrong said, "Xizhou Grand Restaurant."
Just from the name, you can tell this restaurant has a long history. But besides that, its food is also exceptional, and the environment is beautiful and exudes a classic charm, especially its private rooms, which are quite unique.
However, Ji Mingjing replied reservedly, "If the company isn't busy, I have time."
The implication is that he's too busy to have time.
But Rongrong knew he had agreed: "Okay, I'll call you then."
The two walked down the corridor, chatting idly.
The cold night wind felt like knives on my face.
But no one mentioned going back.
Going back means each person returning to their own courtyard and staying in their own room.
Ji Mingjing restrained the urge to abduct her to Wuyayuan.
After walking and stopping for half an hour, a cold wind swept over them. Ji Mingjing was worried that she would catch a cold, so he said, "Let's go back. I have something to do tomorrow morning."
Rongrong said "Oh".
So obedient?
Ji Mingjing turned her head to look at her in surprise.
"What's wrong?" Rongrong's voice came through the scarf, sounding a little muffled.
She pulled the scarf up to her chin.
The next second, Ji Mingjing pulled the scarf up again, covering half of her face.
Rongrong looked at him and said, "I'm not cold."
Ji Mingjing: "Don't move. Put it on properly."
Rongrong: "..."
There's a kind of care that comes from him thinking you're cold.
After escorting Rongrong to the attic, Ji Mingjing suddenly asked, "Are you planning to stay at home for the next two weeks?"
"It hasn't even been half a month..."
Before Rongrong could finish speaking, Ji Mingjing interrupted her: "Are you going to the Imperial City early?"
Rongrong shook her head: "No, Rourou is coming to play for three or four days. Aren said that the class reunion is arranged at the rural farm, which will last for two days and one night, so I will probably stay at home for ten days."
Ji Mingjing's pupils contracted!
In an instant, his brows furrowed deeply, and he said in a deep voice, "You're going to spend the night outside?"
Rongrong noticed that he was angry and gently comforted him, "They're all high school classmates, and Aren is here too, nothing will happen."
Ji Mingjing scoffed coldly: "Who knows what kind of monsters they are? He's so weak, you might need to protect him later."
Rongrong's lips twitched, and she said, "Actually, Aren isn't as bad as you say."
Seeing that she was still speaking up for another man, Ji Mingjing blurted out a sarcastic remark: "Could it be that you learned Taekwondo not so that you could fight for him?"
"I treated him like a younger brother back then. If my younger brother was beaten up, of course I, as the older sister, would help him!"
If she wants to help, she must first have the ability to protect herself.
Isn't it normal to learn some self-defense techniques?
Rongrong found him unreasonable.
Ji Mingjing immediately exploded: "What kind of younger brother are you?"
Yes, she initially entered the Ji family as Ji Xianli's fiancée, so out of love for him, she treated Ji Xianreng as her younger brother.
Unfortunately, Ji Xianli only used her.
She wasted her whole heart!
"hehe."
Ji Mingjing sneered in anger and turned to leave.
Rongrong watched his receding figure, her delicate brows furrowing deeper and deeper.
